Chapter 175: Cui Mengxue's experience
Seeing Li Yu's puzzled gaze, Cui Yu sighed and began to talk about his sister. And when Li Su heard about Mengxue's life experience, his heart couldn't help but move, not only did he know more about Mengxue, but he also had more pity for her in his heart.
Mengxue is a full ten years younger than Cui Yu, and before Cui Mengxue was born, Cui Yu's mother dreamed of white snowflakes flying all over the sky for several days, and it happened that Cui Yu's father Cui Xuan was seriously ill, so Mrs. Cui vaguely felt that this was not a good sign. Sure enough, on the day Cui Mengxue was born, Cui Xuan finally couldn't support it anymore and left their orphans and widows.
Although Cui Yu's mother is also from a big family, she is a superstitious woman, and she has always believed that it was Mengxue's birth that brought bad luck to their family and caused her husband to die, so she didn't like Mengxue. To add insult to injury, less than a year after Cui Mengxue was born, several major plagues occurred in the land controlled by the Cui clan in Qinghe, not only did the people under his rule die of countless diseases, but even many people of the Cui clan were also affected.
At that time, the news about Meng Xue's death of his father had begun to spread outside, and after the plague, I don't know who started it, and even said that Meng Xue was a disaster star that fell from the sky, not only killed his father at birth, but also brought the plague, causing countless people to die of illness.
The people in ancient times were ignorant, after hearing this rumor, coupled with the fact that Mengxue's father died of illness when she was born, many people were convinced, but because of the prestige and strength of Cui Yu's family at that time, no one dared to come to the door. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as Mengxue's luck. Because if she had been born in an ordinary family, she would have been killed by someone who lost her mind. After all, many people will find an excuse to vent after experiencing the pain of losing a loved one. Even if the other party is just an innocent baby.
Although Cui Mengxue survived because of the prestige accumulated by her ancestors, she was put on the hat of a disaster star from birth, not only did her mother dislike her, but even the relatives and friends of the Cui family did not treat her very well, and even from childhood to adulthood, Mengxue did not even have a close friend. Because no girl wants to have a relationship with her.
It's okay to be discriminated against by her mother and others, but even Mengxue herself discriminates against herself, because since she was sensible, she naively thought it. It was really his father who killed him, and he also caused a plague that caused countless innocent people to die. So in her young heart, she has always had a sense of guilt for everyone.
It was also under this sense of guilt that Meng Xue began to learn medical skills at a young age, because in her limited understanding at that time, since she had let so many people die, she had to spend her life to save more people with medical skills, so that she could atone for her sins.
Others only know that Meng Xue is a medical genius. At a young age, they achieved achievements that Sun Simiao admired, but they didn't know how much hardship Mengxue had put in behind the scenes. Sometimes he treats patients, but he is infected and almost dies; In order to better understand the medicinal properties of a medicine, she actually tried the medicine herself, and rolled in pain in the middle of the night; Even in order to learn acupuncture, she actually practiced on herself, but at first she pierced her body with needles, and even once she didn't know what acupuncture points she had reached. As a result, I almost lost my legs.
It is precisely because of so much hard work that Mengxue's medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and when she was at home, she insisted on free clinics, from the beginning no one believed her, and slowly accumulated the fame of the goddess doctor, and only she knew the hardships she had gone through. And it is precisely because of the countless people who have been saved that Mengxue slowly threw off the hat of the disaster star, although her mother still doesn't like her, but at least when Mengxue is mentioned outside, almost everyone will praise it. …,
In the end, Cui Yu suddenly sighed and said: "Now that I think about it, the people who slandered my little sister as a disaster star back then are likely to be Cui Yan's gang, after all, in order to hit the prestige of my family, they definitely have a reason to do this kind of thing, but it's a pity that it's been so many years, even if there is evidence, it is difficult to find."
After listening to Mengxue's experience from childhood to adulthood, Li Su was silent, when he got along with Mengxue before, he found that she didn't have the squeamishness of a young lady of the family at all, and she was busy from morning to night, and never complained about being tired, now that I think about it, it turns out that the other party has been like this since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of busy life.
"Liulang, my little sister has not been loved by her mother since she was a child, and the name of that disaster star has made her suffer a lot of grievances, fortunately, my other sisters are very sensible, and they are particularly concerned about her little sister, but I, the eldest brother, used to only care about messing with people outside, and I didn't fulfill the responsibility of a brother at all, and now I think about it, I really owe her a lot, but I can hand her over to you in the future, I am finally relieved, I hope you can treat her well, don't let her suffer any grievances!" Cui Yu said this, stood up and bowed to Li Yu, this is the last thing he, as an elder brother, can do for his sister.
Seeing that Cui Yu was so solemn, Li Su naturally didn't dare to slack off, and also stood up and saluted back: "Brother Cui, don't worry, if Mengxue enters the Qi Palace, she will be my Li Yu's woman, no matter what happens in the future, I will not let her suffer the slightest grievance!" ”
Hearing the sound of the two disciples talking outside, Wang An, who was lying on the couch in the cabin, showed a smile on his face with his eyes closed, as a teacher, he naturally didn't want a gap between the only two disciples, and now he heard that they finally untied the knot and began to be honest with each other, and he, as a teacher, could finally rest assured. After a while, Li Su and Cui Yu, who were chatting happily outside, heard a burst of undulating snoring from the cabin.
The news of Gaochang's victory has spread throughout Datang at the fastest speed through the medium of newspapers, and because of the different nature of newspapers, the focus of each newspaper's report is different, for example, Datang Daily is a semi-official newspaper, and all it gets is first-hand information, so the report is timely and accurate, and because of political needs, the report is also some positive content, and almost all of them praise this great conquest journey.
In addition to reprinting some of the content of Datang Daily, there are also many information sent by front-line businessmen, and even these businessmen write their own articles to interpret the battle of Gaochang through their perspectives. In addition to these, the industrial and commercial newspaper also focused on the huge impact on the Datang industrial and commercial circles after the establishment of Gaochang, such as the first mention of the problem of textile mills, after all, the superiority of cotton cloth has made many people see its commercial value, and Gaochang is a rich producer of cotton, so the industrial and commercial newspaper asserted that cotton cloth will replace the most commonly used linen cloth in a few years, and even the silk industry will be affected.
However, compared with the positive reports of the Datang Daily and the Industrial and Commercial Daily, the Confucian newspapers, which had been greatly hit, did not change their true colors, not only raised their own doubts in the positive reports, but also sent people to go deep into the Gaochang battlefield, thus obtaining a lot of little-known information, such as they exposed the robbery and capture of good people as slaves in the Tang army, although only a small number of people, but the impact was extremely bad.
It is precisely because of the multi-faceted and multi-angle reports of various newspapers that many Datang people have seen the true face of war for the first time, and understand that war can not only bring honor, but also bring rich benefits, of course, behind honor and interests, there is also a bloody and cruel price. …,
After all, the essence of the newspaper is a medium for transmitting news, and the purpose of transmitting news is to let more Tang people understand the world around them, so as to broaden their horizons and ultimately achieve the goal of opening up the wisdom of the people.
It's just that this kind of opposition often brings some unnecessary troubles, such as the battle of Gaochang, because of a bold report by the Confucian newspaper, which not only caused a big discussion among the people, but also turned the court upside down because of it.
"Your Royal Highness, Hou Junji's move is simply lawless, not only does he collect his property and women, but also does not restrain his subordinates, resulting in the corruption of military discipline in the newly established Xizhou and Tingzhou, and the theft and robbery of soldiers is commonplace, and hundreds of people are displaced for this, if it continues like this for a long time, it is likely to cause a big change, so the old minister asks Your Majesty to severely punish this person!" The white-haired Wei Zheng stood on the main hall and spoke generously, and the group of imperial historians behind him were also excited, and as soon as Wei Zheng's words fell, they all immediately stepped forward to participate, and the content was all related to Hou Junji.
Li Shimin in the main hall was also full of anger, in fact, he knew that Hou Junji's hands and feet were unclean in Gaochang before, but he didn't expect the matter to be so serious, and what was even worse was that this matter was also poked out by Confucianism, and now the whole world already knows about the corruption of military discipline in Xizhou and Tingzhou, and even let many businessmen temporarily retreat from those two states for this reason, after all, public security is not guaranteed, and few people dare to ask for good business opportunities.
Hou Junji's ability to march and fight is indeed good, but he is very proud, no matter the Chinese martial arts, he doesn't like him very much, and today I see Wei Zheng impeaching the other party with these imperial histories, plus he does have an unshirkable responsibility for the corruption of military discipline, so not only no one came out to intercede for him, but even many people impeached Hou Junji together.
Seeing that the ministers in the court almost overwhelmingly demanded that Hou Junji be severely punished, Li Su was secretly anxious in his heart, because he clearly remembered that it was this battle of Gaochang that made Hou Junji convicted and imprisoned, which led to a series of tragedies later. Although history has changed itself a lot, it now seems that the tragedy in history is likely to be repeated. (To be continued......) ……,
